I need everyone to know that the ship Götheborg, the world's largest ocean-going wooden sailing ship, answered a distress call the other day.
Imagine waiting for the coast guard or whatever to show up and instead a replica of 18th century merchant ship pulls up and tows you to the coast.

is it just me or is NASA weirdly aggressive in their article about black holes?
can a black hole destroy the earth?
no, you idiot.
black holes aren’t planet gluttons, you bitch.
and the earth isn’t some weak-ass planet that would just fall in to a black hole like a sucker.
and that dumbass sun that we’ve got isn’t big enough to make a black hole like other stars.
you fool.

I hear a lot of people ask what historical memes were and say we’ll probably never know
but one 19th-century meme has become possibly the most enduring meme in human history (to date)
“Okay.”
so, back in the 1830s, the hot trend among the Youths™ of Boston was intentionally misspelling words and abbreviating common phrases with acronyms that therefore had the wrong first letters. examples included “K.Y.” for “no use” (”know yuse”) and “O.W.” for "all right” (”oll wright”).
on March 23rd, 1839, the Boston Morning Post got in on the joke with “O.K.” for “all correct” (”oll korrect”). Martin Van Buren picked it up as part of his campaign, it was propelled into the national spotlight, and the rest is history
that’s right
the word “okay” is a Victorian meme
imagine if the newspaper had printed “O.W.” instead

If you can't wash it off, paint over it, replace the item, or buff it out, turn a message of hate into one of love!
I would never condone someone to do this discreetly and in mere seconds with a quickly concealed permanent marker, for example on a public bench or bus stop. Certainly not anything like whipping out a tat machine and adding to an unconscious white supremacist's existing tattoo. That would be illegal! :) And, dear followers, I would never encourage you to do something that's illegal.
So, please only use this when someone has defaced your personal property to avoid breaking the law! Because that would be illegal, and following in the law is always in everyone's best interest. :)
.... :) reblogs and even reposts definitely welcome

Left is MY FIC, right is the ACTUAL BOOK QUOTE IT WAS INSPIRED BY
(Mask context: masquerade ball / cinderella au)
It has been doing numbers EVERYWHERE and I only found out from this lovely person who commented on Ao3:
So yeah I guess if anyone wants to read an 8 year old Song of Achilles fanfic written in a fever dream after watching Into The Woods, be my guest
